Dangerous Half-Knowledge

 

Half-knowledge can be found where research has not been done properly. Journalists who write for cheap papers are content with half-knowledge. A person who has little interest in the truth is a person who is not with God. Christians who have only read the Bible cursorily easily fall for false prophets.

 

A lot of people can't stand the truth because it can be exhausting. But the truth sets you free, because honesty creates clarity. Lies serve as social lubricant and can ruin a person's reputation. Respect for people who make clear statements and are not afraid of negative consequences, because this requires a good dose of courage. Love is made of courage. Love is of divine origin. Values that are appreciated in a group (relationship) are honesty and reliability.

 

Religious scriptures are subject to wild interpretations. Radical people quickly turn those who believe differently into the enemy. Anyone who has watched all the programs about God and the church on television for a while has been so full of all kinds of Bible interpretations and spiritual orientations that some viewers no longer know where they stand at the end. One preacher claims that all people are saved by Jesus. Another denies this and only speaks of a great multitude. And yet another is certain that there are only a few people who will not be lost. On the other hand, someone can choose exactly what fits their worldview from the wealth of sermons. Some preachers tend more towards excessive emotionality, others more towards cold, legalistic, self-righteous Pharisaism.

 

Here is another example of different interpretations of the Bible. A pastor is of the firm opinion that homosexuality is unacceptable. It is a sin that must not be tolerated. Another, on the other hand, tolerates homosexuality and refers to Christian charity. The argument of a third pastor who professes homosexuality is as follows, “Same-sex love is not a sin; after all, God created me that way.” Okay, let's say better: endowed. Strictly speaking, God created Adam alone, and from one of his ribs, Eve. God created this woman to honor Adam. After that, human reproduction began. Every newborn human being is blessed by God with talents (gifts). When they come of age, they are free to make their own decisions, but now they must also bear the responsibility for them.

 

So there are countless interpretations of the Bible texts. What should we believe now? One sees it this way, and the other that way. One contradiction follows the next. Where is the mistake here? Viewers who have recognized these contradictions but still continue to pay attention to such preachers are making a big mistake. It's better not to do that. But who can really help now? The expert! And that is God! And where does he hold his consultations? In the church? No! On X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, or Facebook? No! In the Bible, of course!
